A Moonbat Weekend
March 19th is the 8th anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq, so you know the moonbats have worked themselves up into a frenzy. They have a big weekend planned according to Washington Peace Center;
Friday Mar. 18
7-9pm: Walter Reed Vigil at Walter Reed Hospital, 7150 Georgia Avenue, NW (at Horseshoe, between Dahlia and Elder)
A weekly vigil to raise awareness within our community and the media that our injured soldiers are brought to Walter Reed Hospital and we must not forget them. Fund the wounded, not the war! (The right wingers will be out in force so let’s support!)
The Vigil began in March 2005 following the second anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and has continued every Friday evening regardless of rain, sun, snow, ice, or right-wing hooligans.
Yeah, and a fearsome group they’ve been;
I guess this will be attended by IVAW, too. This is how they plan on helping the wounded…by taunting them while they come back from the war. Good call, Jose and Geoff.
Saturday March 19
12 noon: Veterans for Peace Rally and Action at Lafayette Park and the White HouseResist the War Machine! Put your body on the line for peace and help make this the largest veteran-led civil resistance to the war machine in recent history! For more information, email stopthesewars@gmail.com.

Civil resistance means they’re going to try and get arrested again, because that means something…or something. Matthis won’t be there – he’s going to be on a panel in New York City with Debra Sweet talking about how Obama is a bigger war criminal than Bush was.

MARCH 19,2011 (Saturday) FREEDOM PLAZA
ANSWER, Code Pink, IVAW, and others of their ilk are still protesting against our troops. We need to continue supporting our troops and defending their honor. We need to be a voice for them. Our soldiers still need the support we gave them in March, 2007 during the first Gathering of Eagles.
WHERE: Washington, DC — We have permitted FREEDOM PLAZA (Main gathering point) at 14th and E Streets, NW. Blue and Orange FEDERAL TRIANGLE Metro Station is closes station
DATE: Saturday, March 19,2011
WHEN: Gather at 10AM at Freedom Plaza, then at 11AM we will go to Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House till we are no longer needed to support our troops.
The DC Chapter of FReeRepublic will have the Walter Reed MOAB, flags, banners, and posters. At FReedom Plaza we will also have snacks and drinks.
The moonbats will be gathering at Lafayette Park at noon and will protest in front of the White House after their speeches damning and disparaging our brave troops.

March 20, 2011 (Sunday) Quantico MCB Main Gate
The information I have read is that Code Pink and other skanky organizations will be gathering to free the Manning whiner. Their buses will arrive around 2pm at the intersection of Rt-1 and Rt-619 (Joplin Rd) at the Iwo Jima Memorial. They will then march the 100 yards to the main gate of Quantico.
The Marines have stated their intention to close the main gate for several hours and expect around 500 protesters.
Construction in the area is going to make parking very tight.
I’ll be at the Saturday protest in Lafayette Park after I drive back from stumping with DanNy for David Bellavia. So if you don’t see anything here on the blog this weekend, it’s coming.

Thanks for the G2. There is a Marine Corps League building right by the main gate, and I can’t imagine that they would be upset with a bunch of vets slipping in there to park. Also, the Marine Corps Museum is about 1 K from the gate with lots of parking. I was going to be in DC on Saturday anyway, so maybe I’ll swing by and be reminded of my college days in Massachusetts by making fun of hippie stink and Phish.
Seriously? Ralph Nader? Code Stink? Wow, ANSWER couldn’t get Ron Dellums to show up? Jesse Jackson, Jr or 3d or 4th? Al, Race-Baiter,Sharpton?
So, this is going to be the “the largest veteran-led civil resistance to the war machine in recent history!”? They plan on what, several hundred, several thousand, or several?
Good tips Bobo, I live on the southern edge of Quantico and may just pop on over to see what kind of mischief I can stir up. Just kidding, I am going there if for no other reason than to laugh at them and hopefully piss them off. I’ve always wanted to protest a protest.
I hope they have a better turn out than MoveOn did, if only so they look a hair less foolish. (Just kidding)
I mean, gees, the nutters organize a protest during Spring Break and expect a cast of thousands? Twits.
What’ll they do, all of the paid protesters are out at the state capitols, extolling the reps and state senators to continue spending the states into bankruptcy.
It really makes you wonder, Its like some people are trying to bring back the “Good ol’ days” of Vietnam
